The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

Chapter 448: Must Go to the Step of Divorce

The two families sat together in the flower hall of the Shangshu Mansion.

The emperor only ordered a reprimand, but did not remove the minister from his position, nor did he ask him to reflect on his mistakes at home, so he still had to attend the morning court.

When the two families sat together, the only one missing was the Shangshu.

However, the old lady of the Shangshu Mansion was sitting in the main seat. She had a headband on her head, looked listless, and kept coughing. Yesterday, Lady Pingxi sent someone to call the Shangshu's wife and the old lady over to judge the matter. The old lady was afraid that her grandson would be bullied, so she followed her daughter-in-law despite the heavy snow. As expected, she caught a cold after staying in the snow for so long.

After returning, he called a doctor for treatment.

As for the Shangshu's wife, she sat on the left side of the old lady, followed by Kong Lin and the second son. As for the family's daughter, it was not appropriate for her to attend such occasions, so the Shangshu's wife did not call her daughter out.

Such an infuriating thing has gotten to this point, but this unfilial son still doesn't know how to calm down. He actually brought that man with him and stood behind Kong Lin.

The Shangshu's wife gave the pitiful man a fierce look.

The old lady, on the other hand, seemed indifferent, as if she didn't take it to heart.

Sitting opposite the Shangshu's wife was the family of the Pingxi Marquis's Mansion.

In addition to the old couple and Mu Yao, Pingxi Bo also brought the Crown Prince's wife with him. The four of them sat in the seats on the right side of the old lady in turn, and one main seat was left unoccupied, which was specially reserved for the Minister.

Mrs. Pingxi was already a little angry with her son-in-law, and she became even angrier when she saw that he had brought that little vixen with him. She tightened her grip on the teacup, suppressing her emotions so as not to lose control and lose her temper.

The wife of the Prince of Pingxi was as angry as her mother-in-law. The wife of the Prince naturally knew what Kong Lin and the Kong family had done. Although she did not enter the palace with her mother-in-law yesterday, she also knew what happened on the street. She did not expect that the Kong family would go crazy to such an extent for a pitiful person, and even gave up their legal wife for the sake of pitiful person.

The *** would be here soon, and Kong Lin would have no way to bring this poor man out.

The Crown Prince's wife tried hard not to get angry.

After all, it would not do them any good to make a fuss now, and it would be unreasonable. Let *** come and see for himself later.

But when she thought of her sister-in-law beside her, the Crown Prince's wife couldn't help but feel distressed. She raised her hand and patted her sister-in-law's hand, giving her silent comfort.

It’s really sad to say that, the words Kong Lin said when he went to their house to ask for Mu Yao’s hand in marriage are still vivid in my mind.

Kong Lin and his parents-in-law repeatedly assured him that he would treat Mu Yao well throughout his life, and even said that he would never take a concubine. If he did, his parents-in-law would come and break his legs. When they first got married, their relationship was so good that everyone envied them. Even his parents-in-law were very confident in this son-in-law. Who would have thought that in just a few short years, it had come to this point. Kong Lin was so fascinated by a man that he didn't care about the relationship between husband and wife, and even didn't believe what Mu Yao said. No matter what Mu Yao did, he doubted her sincerity.

When men change their minds, they are really ruthless.

Those words from the past were like a slap in the face to everyone.

Mu Yao looked at her sister-in-law's distressed expression and gave her a gentle smile, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm fine."

The Crown Prince's wife lowered her voice and said, "It's good that everything is fine. Don't take these things to heart. The Queen will come over soon and will naturally make the decision for you. The Queen was appointed by the Queen. The current Queen attaches great importance to the rights of women, so don't worry."

In the past, the queens were only the mothers of the country in name, but very few of them truly lived up to their role and cared about the women of the country.

However, they are all poor women imprisoned in the deep palace. All they think about all day is competing for their husbands' favor, rather than being role models for women all over the world. Perhaps it is because the current emperor respects the queen very much, there are not so many restrictions, and he does not put his husband first in everything, so the queen feels sorry for the women's plight.

Mu Yao just nodded and didn't say anything.

The Shangshu's wife sighed with regret, "Yaoyao, have you really come to the point of having to divorce? Mother really can't bear to let you go. You and Kong Lin have such a good relationship. It would be a pity to divorce like this. Why don't you try to start over?"

As soon as the Shangshu's wife said this, the faces of the people sitting opposite her suddenly turned ugly.

The Lady of Pingxi, in particular, could not help but snort coldly, "Madam Shangshu, you really know how to talk. You've said all the nice things. Did we have to get to this point? It was clearly your own fault. Your son had an affair outside, and our Yaoyao didn't say anything. Instead, she showed the magnanimity that a lady should have and brought that poor woman into the house. But what a crap did your son do? He favored his concubine over his wife, and even as that poor woman, he bullied our Yaoyao like this."

"No matter what our Yaoyao did, you put the blame on us. We can't stay in a family like yours. We Yaoyao can't stand your cowardice. For our Yaoyao to live longer, it's better to divorce."

"Besides, Kong Lin no longer has any feelings for our Yaoyao. If Yaoyao doesn't divorce and stays here, she will only be bullied. Your Kong Lin believes whatever that concubine says. Today, he just framed our Muyao. If that concubine wants to kill our Muyao someday, Kong Lin might even come and take her life."

"Of course, our Yaoyao doesn't dare to continue living with your Kong Lin."

"As for the pity, that's your own fault. You should reflect on it more instead of saying such things to our Yaoyao. Our Yaoyao doesn't owe your family anything."

"Starting over is even more impossible, so Madam Shangshu, please don't even think about it."

"Do you think it's a pity that Kong Lin and Mu Yao are getting divorced, or do you think it's a pity that Mu Yao won't have any dowry subsidy after the divorce?" The Crown Prince's wife showed them no mercy and directly exposed their ugly faces.

Upon hearing this, the Shangshu's wife's face immediately turned red, as if her secrets had been touched upon.

It is indeed a pity to lose such a daughter-in-law. After all, Mu Yao is a girl from the Pingxi Earl's Mansion. Although the Pingxi Earl's Mansion is different now, it is still an Earl's Mansion after all. If he divorces Mu Yao, according to their family background, they may not be able to find such a girl.

Moreover, Kong Lin was married for the second time, which had ruined his reputation. It was difficult to even talk about marriage, so they could only be compatible.

Secondly, he felt sorry for Mu Yao's dowry. In order to buy this house, their family had already spent all their savings and even owed money to the money farm. The master's monthly salary was only enough to pay back the money farm, and he had no extra money to live on.
